...representatives of about 90,000 members of organized labor unions throughout the state. They smoke cigars and wear King/O'Neill buttons. They ask you who are you going to vote for and tell a reporter she looks like her Daddy has a lot of money. They don't like Frank Hatch because he is rich and he looks like a wimp.
